Even on a cloudy day Bill did an excellent job of showing off the sites of the local area and timing the weather to get us to the summit of Cadillac at the right time

I’m so glad we decided to take this private tour of Acadia National Park. It was the perfect way to see all the highlights and we were so lucky to have David as our guide! He took us to all the places on our list (plus some) — managing to do it at the best time to avoid the crowds as well as finding a parking spot close to whatever it was we wanted to see. He was friendly, accommodating (always willing to take photos of us— and he’s really good at it!), funny and very knowledgeable of the area, sharing lots of stories and insights that we would never have known about if we were on our own. And the fact that he and my husband shared the same love of music made our conversations even more fun and enjoyable. Thank you David…wishing you all the best!!
